Decaying Pillsbury mill in Illinois that once churned flour into opportunity is now getting new life
The hulking former Pillsbury Mills plant in Springfield, Ill., is seen, Dec. 30, 2022. It presents a challenge for the citizen nonprofit organization, Moving Pillsbury Forward, but the group has collected $6 million in commitments and has a road map for securing the balance of the $10 million it says it needs to demolish the 500,000 square feet of former factory before redeveloping the 18-acre site. The mill operated under Minneapolis-based Pillsbury and another owner for 71 years but has been vacant nearly a quarter-century. (AP Photo/John O'Connor)
